My buying dilemma: Clarisonic Mia 2

The Clarisonic face brush has been on my mind for oh so long. For someone with acne prone skin that just doesn't seem to end, this brush sounds like a miracle weapon. I have been dealing with acne since high school, it went crazy during college, and has somewhat simmered down into my twenties. But I still get pimples. I have tried everything from Clearasil, Clean & Clear, Acne Free, ProActiv, Murad, Clinique, Elemis, Tea Tree Oil, and so on...

If you have suggestions, please let me know! I honestly can't wait to finish some of these products so I can move on to Kores, Dermatologica, Clinique, Shisheido, and other Korean brands...okay now on to the point of this post!

My heart and mind has been set on Clarisonic Mia 2:

Travel friendly

Tells me when to move the brush. I'm the type that will move the brush all around as quickly as possible

As you know, the Mia 2 runs for $149 at all stores, but the following stores are where I am considering to purchase it from. *Please note in order to qualify for some of my deals you need to have certain cards/cash back memberships.

If you are new customer you get 20% off your purchase with code AFF20BEAUTYBAR since I am not I qualify for the current code FALLBB14 which is $20 off $100, and $40 off $200

In addition with an American Express card you get $20 Statement Credit for purchases over $100 (some have this as an available offer) if not tweet #AmexCasa with your synced twitter account (more information to come)

Let's say I am able to bring my bag total to $200 (big if) I would be paying $160 out of pocket - $20 statement credit - $6.40 CB = $133.60

Lowest price option: Birchbox

Most bang for my buck: BeautyBar ($40 free products of my choosing)

Close second and very tempting: Nordstrom (with all the freebies for the Clarisonic)
